Popham Beach, located in Phippsburg, Maine, will be the setting for an exciting afternoon photographing Gypsy Horses and their riders at low tide. The riders will maneuver the horses along the beach for us to have various vantage points for reflections, details, lifestyle, action, and creative opportunities. Gypsy horses are a specialty breed from the UK originally where they were used to pull carriages. They are often a piebald coloring and feature hooves and legs that showcase their feathered hair.
The riders and horses will accommodate us from 1pm to 4pm, but we will meet in the parking lot at the beach at noon to acclimate ourselves. We will stay through sunset (about 6pm) in order to photograph sunset and other elements at the beach. Come join us for a unique workshop!
